I want to cluster GDLET data by country using the k-prototypes algorithm. GDELT returns a list of themes as seen in this SE post.



I was looking at the example data frame in this blog post as a reference. My idea is to sum theme occurrence by country and use the top themes as inputs, then my data frame would look like



 t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 ...
country_1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 ...
.
.
.
|_____________| |____________|
#1 theme #2 theme


I would then be able to cluster the countries using this data frame. The above mentioned SE post says that clustering will not work well for that question, but I feel like what I am trying to do is different, but I have not used k-modes/k-prototypes and was hoping someone who had could let me know if this is a valid approach. There will be other data associated besides themes, but this is the basic approach I am planning for the majority of the data frame.



Thanks
